Thanks for asking. Just settling back into my home, and am now starting to figure out what I will be doing next. This is a big mountain to climb after taking care of my wife for 5 years, then riding the world for 31 months. Have not been in the job market for over 20 years, so I need to do some serious reeducation on hiring practices and start to network for a new career path..... Will keep updated here as things start to happen.

I really admire you for what you have done, both for your wife and on your bike. I to am in the midst of a career change and have had to *shudder* enter the job market once again ! I have been self employed for the last 14 years so it was a massive shock to the system.

You sound like the sort of person who will make the most of any opportunity that comes along and I look forward to hearing how you go.

If someone from the US is riding into canada , talk to your agent ! Evidently not all insurance covers you . Had a buddy get in a wreck in BC and lost his truck because his insurance was no good . Both in 87' and 2010 I double checked with my agent and was covered . Also carried the insurance through S.P.O.T. , $100,000 worth of medical transport insurance for $10 or so . Air ambulance rates are a bit higher than a city cab .

I thought for sure that our paths would cross along the way somewhere in this small world. I am sad to hear your second chapter is now closed.
But i hope to follow you in your next chapter to see how you adapt back in to the real world after traveling so extensively.........because i wonder that of myself when my money runs out and i have to join the game again.
That will be of great interest to me as i have become so God Damn Independent these days.

I thought our paths might cross as well...... They still might.

Will let you know. I had planned for a transition period, which I am in right now. No real news as I settle home and start exploring my options..... Not sure which direction I will go yet.....
